A quick and easy salad dressing made from ingredients usually already on hand. Easily adjusted to your personal taste. 

My carrot salad has a little twist to it ... coconut! I hope you enjoy it as much as my friends and fiance do. 

This is the 'secret' Greek dressing recipe from the pizzeria that I work at. The recipe makes almost a gallon but can be scaled down easily. It can be used for picnics and travels very well, since it doesn't need to be refrigerated. This is the best dressing I have ever tasted, people offer to buy it constantly, but if we sold it we wouldn't be able to make enough to use in the restaurant! 

This is a secret family recipe for chocolate chip cookies! Everyone who tries them begs for more. Enjoy!!

Sweet and buttery squash - this is quick and easy and my family loves it. 

'Acorn squash is a favorite with my family,' relates Mrs. Richard Lamb of Williamsburg, Indiana. 'This recipe gets sweet maple flavor from syrup and an appealing nuttiness from pecans. It's easy, too, because you don't have to peel the squash.' 

Turkey burgers are a delicious change of pace. Slap these moist patties on the grill for a special summer treat! 

These unusual burritos are made with sweet potatoes, spices and kidney beans. They freeze well, and can be deep fried instead of baked. 

Chicken breasts baked with Dijon mustard, teriyaki sauce, bacon bits and Parmesan cheese. That's it! Yummy! 

This garlic mayonnaise is excellent with fish. Serve with grilled salmon, deep fried cod, or baked bass; it is good with these recipes and so many more. Vary the flavor by using olive oils from Greece, France, or Italy, but definitely choose an extra virgin olive oil. Do not store for more than a few hours. 

Baked salmon makes an excellent Christmas main course! 

A blue cheese, Parmesan cream sauce for fettuccini with a sprinkling of Italian seasoning. 

Whip up a delightful Alfredo sauce with skim milk, chicken broth and flour in place of heavy cream. Parmesan cheese gives it just the right zing. Add sauteed onions and garlic and lightly cooked broccoli, and you have a terrific dish! 

Cream, butter, garlic, parsley and Parmesan cheese make a classic Alfredo sauce for chicken dishes. 

Butter, cream, egg yolk and two kinds of cheese are cooked together with a dash of freshly ground nutmeg to make a luxurious, classic Alfredo sauce. Buy a whole nutmeg and grate only as much as you need. The unmistakable flavor is well worth it. 

This bruschetta will turn out every time you make it. Use small slices of bread for a unique appetizer, or serve with Italian dishes. 

From Syracuse, Nebraska, Betty Ruenholl writes, 'I make several batches of this simple and delicious apple butter to freeze in jars. Depending on the sweetness of the apples used, you can adjust the sugar to taste.' 

'A co-worker gave me this recipe, but I didn't try it until recently. What a mistake it was to wait! It's easier than dipping, coating and frying...and the flavor is outstanding,' notes Heidi Kirsch of Waterloo, Iowa. 'Once you've tried this tender fish, you'll never go back to fried.'
